LV Stabler Memorial Hospital has a very clear goal: to help people live healthier lives. That means we treat the whole person, and deal with issue of mental health with the same level of attention as physical health. Our psychiatrists look closely at what’s going on in your life to determine your mental state and come up with treatments that relieve emotional stress and pain.
We all have bad days, but when those bad days begin to outnumber the good, our mental health professionals are here to support you, and help you return to a healthier state of mind.
